Avery Island Wildlife

Pam and Edmund McIlhenny's wildlife photos of Avery Island, Louisiana, which is one of five salt domes rising above the flat Louisiana coastal wetlands. This gallery includes photographs of the following species: American Alligator, Anhinga, Armadillo, Bobcat,Cormorant, Deer, Hawk, Great Blue Heron, Green Heron, Little Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, White Ibis, White-faced Ibis, Glossy Ibis,Lesser Scaup diving duck, Lamb,Common Loon, Otter, Barred Owl, American White Pelican, Brown Pelican, Racoon, Robin, Roseate Spoonbill, Eastern Wild Turkey, and Turkey Vulture.

Avery Island is also the home of TABASCO Brand Pepper Sauce, which Edmund McIlhenny's great grandfather invented in 1868. Because the company remains family owned, with its headquarters still at Avery Island, we have had the opportunity over the years to photograph wildlife, as well as some of the most beautiful parts of the Island. We hope you enjoy them. More information on Avery Island is available at http://www.TABASCO.com, and http://www.Twitter.com/A_Island.
Warmest regards, Pam and Edmund McIlhenny

    While the common name for this North American diving duck is Lesser Scaup, here in Acadiana, with our French heritage, it is often called "Dogris" (pronounced doe gree), which is French for "grey back," The photo shows why. It migrates south as far as Central America in winter, and is also known in other areas as the Little Bluebill or Broadbill because of its distinctive blue bill. The origin of the name scaup may stem from the bird's preference for feeding on scalp - the Scottish word for clams, oysters, and mussels, according to Wikipedia.
